WASHINGTON.

The r.overnment Contemplating the Leasing of Hot Springs for a Term of Thirty Tears. A Revlßlon of tho Tariff Not to bo Made Until Next "WinterOther Newa. nor sriuxus. A Kill Before the House ror Its Ieaslngto Private' Parties For a Term of Thirty Tears. Special to the ßenUsel. Washington, Jan. 20. There ia a bil now being pushed before the House Committee on PaDlic Lands which is regarded with a great deal of suspicion. It proiides for the leasing of Hot Springs property in Arkansas for a term cf thirty years. Jt is said there is a lobby working in the interest of the measure, and that parties who want the lease ere leaving cothiDg unturned to secure a report on the bll'. Should It be reported to the House with favorble recommendation an effort will be made to have it rtuhed through both branches of Congress daring the excitement attending the last days o! the session. Parties who have acquainted themselves with the snbject say, however, that the Government can do no better lhan continue the lease, for which the bill provides. If the Government takes charge of the bath-bouae, they aay it can not furnish better ecccnimedations nor at lower rates. It is ascertained that the sharp competition has brought prices down to a reasonable profit, and the officers at the Interior Department favcr the proposition to keep the management of the Springs in the hands of private p&ties. A good deal of opposition is offered to the bill, and if it comes before the House it is not unlikely that it may be defeated, and the spectacle of the Government operating both Houses will be presented before long. The Tariff to Be lUvised Next Winter. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, Jan. 2', "It is my belief that none cf the treaties will bec:nis law?," said a gentleman to-day who has been talking to Preside nt-elect Cleveland. "The Incoming Administration will favor a revision of the tariff a mild revision and if the tariff ia to be revised it will not be good judgment to enact reciprocity treaties curtailing its Meld. The revision or the tarilTmust come." ''Is Mr. Cleveland a freetrader? ' "No, air. From the best I can get he entertains ideas very much like Mr. Tilden on the subject. Heia for a revenue for the legitimate expenses of the G overnment only. I should think he is of the opinion that onethird the customs dues can be removed. He would, like Mr. Randall and Mr. Tilden also, enlarge the free list with raw materials. The tariß willbe revised next winter. THE KOOF or tbe Uonne of Representatives In Flanies-YVhat Might Have Keen a tlret Minfurtuue. Washington, Jan. 2C Fire w;n discovered this morning in a lot of books and records stored under the roof of the House of Representatives. The firemen cut awar the wood and scon extinguished the fire. It was confined to a space lets than twenty feet squire. Tbe damage was trilling. The fire is supposed to have been started by electric wir. used in lighting the hall. Tne first discovery that a fire wai in pro grees was that a few large sparks were see to fall upon the ticor of the House from tb rcof above, which in a moment increased i quite a shower. The few Representatives in the hall and the officers and pages rushed for the door, and for a moment they seemed to expect an exfHsion and to see a repetition of Saturday's sctnes in the British House of Parliament. There was no water and no way of getting at the fire exseot up the steps and a narrow iron stair case running np three storlee, upon which ttro men can not pats each other. After some delay, However, bucket) of water were pissed np. and what came dangerously near being a ? lions conflagration was averted, la thrccm In which the fire was confined wen stored the records of the first session of Con grew, with all the original reports of tbCcmniittccj of the proceedings of tbe House, and the reports of the various heads cf department?, ir eluding some valuable reports dated 171. The close proximity of the fire to these volumes rendered it most miracu Ions thev were not burned. They could never have been replaced, and their loss would have been a great misfortune. Members of Congress expressed 6urpria and udeasiness that there should be such a lack of means of extinguishing a fire breaking out in this way. Tne fire ia supposed to have been started by electricity, as a number of wiies cted in lighting the hall pass the point where the fire began. Wanlitogtoa Notes. Washington, Jan. L'O.The Baard of Sapervisicg Inspectors of Steam Vessels to-day adopted a rule of importance to steamboat owners. It provides where steamers are furniahed with approved life-saving matresses, such matresses may be used in lieu of life preservers in the proportion of one psr ton for a single matrejs and two persons for a double mat res, thus caving steamboat owners the expense of purchasing life preservers in proportion as their steamers are fitted cut with life savins matresses. Th i!vrr vaults at tho bob-treasury cf San Fire:Ico are taxed ts tbeir fullest caI acity. and tbe Scretary of th Treasury is cctc:derir.g the mm:'tn of transferring

from them about 40,000,000 In standard dollars to the new silver vaults in the Treasury Department, but ia deterred from that course by the great expense, which is estimated at 51C0.0C0. The attention of Congress will be called to the matter with a view of securing funds for the transfer. Confirmation of Postmasters were as follows: Samuel S. .McFerran. Beaver Falls, Pa ; Edmund James, Ebensborg, Pa. The nominations were as follows: Cammodore Samuel TL Franklin, Rear Admiral. Pcetmasters Theo. B. Pat ton, Ahoona, Pa.; 8. 8.

Bacon, Oregon City, Org ; Donald McDonald, Grand Forks, Difc.; Edward O. Kennedy, Globe, Ariz. The Supervising Architect of the Treasury has recommended an additional appropriation of ?C0,0C0 for the public building at Columbus, O., and $15,000 for the building .it Des Moines, Iowa. He also recommends that the limit of the appropriation for th9 public building at St. Louis be increased to $350,000. When the Senate went into executive session to-day Representative Ochiltree, of Texas, was in consultation in the Senate cloak room with Senator Jones, of Nevada, and Senator Maxey, of Texap, relative to a Texas appointment, lhe three remained in conference more than half an hour, during which time the Senators diicu'Bed the treaty under consideration. Ochiltree left the cloak-room, and going upon tbe chamber floor went to Senator COke, of Texas, to consult with him. The latter was conferring with Senator Vest when Ochiltree tapped him on the shoulder. Senator Ccla for e moment was nonplused, but turning to Ochiltree, he said: "What .ho devil are yoa doing here? Don't you xno v we are in executive Ssion?" r. enaur Vest laughed and warned Ochiltree n?t ti let Senator Edmunds see him. "He will arrest you and put yoa in jail," he continued. Assistant Sergeant atArms, James Chrystie, appeared at this juncture, exhibiting much surprise at Ochiltree's presence. He asked no questions, but taking the Texan by the arm hurriedly escorted him to the Senate door and told him to "get out" and c!o3ed the door upon him.

SATURDAY'S EXPLOSION

CroTTds of People .warming tbe Streets of London and Their Indlgna . tion Undiminished. Further Details cf the Explosion Cunningham Remanded to February 3. THE DYNAMITE OUriUGE. Forthrr Details of the Explosion The htKment and Anger Increasing , Comments of the Press, Etc. I.vpON, Jan. 20. The excitement and an?er enkindled by the dynamite explosions still continue. The rumor current last evening and this morning that Cunningham, who was arrested at the Tower, would have a hearing today at the Thames Police Courr, caused the court and streets in tbe vicinity to be crowded with excited citizens, and extra police were placed on duty to keep order. The feeling against Cunningham was bitter. 11 the crowd once got hands on him he would bs lynched. Shortly after noon it was leared that detectives had arrested another man connected with the explosions, aad he and Canningham willbe arraigned together at Baw Street Pclice Court. The people in the vicinity of the Thames Court then left in the direction of Bow Street Court. The letter received by the police yesterday is now believed to be a very important dosument. In addition to other valuable in for .ration it state3 that St. Paul's Cathedral and the office of the Daily Telegraph are among the buildings which the djnaziitera threaten to blow up. .U'AEIIS( THE BUILDINGS. Westminster Hall andTowerwere closed to day to everyone except government officials engaged in inspecting the structure?. Many persons carrying parcels on the street to day have been stopped by the police ani the parce's examined. Approaches to all public buildings aru r-gidJy guarded. Nobody is allowed to enter without submitting to the closest scrutiny. The Tower and Parliament Houses are surrounded with sentries. Colonel Majendie is minuteiy examining the scene of the explosion. Immense crowds cf people are attracted to the vicinity of the Tower and "NYestrninEter. The two palicemen, Cox and Cole, injured by the explosion at Westminster Hall, are making favorable progress, and hops is entertained of their recovery. COMMENT IN IRELAND. Tb( newspapers denounce the outrage in viperous terms. The Freeman'e Journal 8ys: "Only one feeling prevails throughout Ireland regarding tbe fiendish crime?, and that is deep, earnest sympathy with the injured, no les3 than the earnest wi; h that the diabolical authors willbe brought to justice. Any man with a touch of numan'feeling must regret the escape of the miscreants." EXAMINATION OF l'RISDNKRS, 2 p. m. Tbe police have arrested another man on suspicion of complicity in Saturday's crimes. He will be examined at Bow Street Police Court. James Gilbert Cunningham, arrested yesterday on suspicion of having somethirg to do with the Tower outrage, was examined to-day at the Bow etreet Police station. The charge cf having caused the explosion at the Tower was preferred against him. He declared that he was an Kodisbman. Evidence was adduced abow ing tbbt the man gave contradictory replies hi. the time of his arrest. CunniDgbam was remanded until Tuesday, Febrtary j. NO IIU5H NEED ArrXY. It was reported in the city this evening tl ut one of the great English railway corporations fcava decided to discharge from its frpnloy immediately all people of Irish birth. lECVKIAKY DAMAGE. Official estimates made by Government Inspectors place the amount of pecuniary damage wrought by the explosion in Westminster Ha)l, the Houec of Commons aad the tower at $7,000. IMI0P.TANT. 2:30 p.m. It is reported that the pDlice have discovered an important e'e-v which they are following with tbe utmost diligtrce. Alrecdv eight men are under earveillence. It 18 rumored that several ar-rrr-ta will be made this aftsrnoon. SpecV. prccantioca have been taten for tbe protection of the Steck Exchange and tbe nev law courts against dynamite attacks. AVI5D60R BASTLE CLOSED. All the royal apartments in Tiodaor Cattle have been ordered closed to all visitor. Tnis step was taken by Her Majesty in consequence of the extraordinary precautionary measures generally advised by the Üinistry. The Qaeen coudected herself so stoically throughout all previous dycamir panics tnat her present action attracts much attention. LOCATING THE TOINT OF THE DISASTER. The experts in examining the locality of the disaster in the Parliament build:nr, reached the conclusion, after tracing the proems ol tbe debris, that the explosion occurred in the passage leading from the "Fourth Aye Division Lobby," to thtseav in the southwest chamoer usually occupied by the Public Secretaries. The parcel containing the dynartite vrasplceda few feet brjond the barrier at the entrance to the Houf e of Commots, location being precisely indicated by the ho;e ploughed thronzh the maionry a foot thick. A fijsure wa aho made iu the brick work of the arch near by. Surprise is expressed that the explosive wa? net placed directly under the barrier, in which case the damage would hive been far greater. All indicat ens show that the explosive possessed a downward tendency, peculiar to dynamite. Odors of aalph-r or nitric acid, and total'y unlike the smell cf gunpowder were noticed after the explosion. THE INFERNAL MACHINE. It is now known that the Infernal machines which were used to cause the disasters "sere ignited by sulphuric acid, which worked through ectfen wool and ate away tbe cap beneath. The process occupied twenty minutes time, and thus alloweJ the

coLipirator to escape before the explosion tcck place. FORCE OF THE EXTLCPION' IN TIIE TOWER. In the Council Chamber of the Tower of London whele cases made of plate c'$s, a quarter of an inch thick, and containing armor, were shattered by the force of the ex-T-lcsion. The wall asifnst which the dynamite was placed ia sixteen feet thick, notwithstanding which the plssterig on the opposite side cf the wall, for a radius of several feet, was shaken to the floor, leaving the stone work bare. Several good photographs of tbie eCect of the explosion have been secured. CUNNINGHAM F.ErORTED TO HAVE "SQUEALED." It ii reported that Cunningham has made an important revelation, in consequence of which all trains leaving London for seaport towns are accompanied by detectives. NO INFERNAL MACHINE USED. Not the slightest trace cf any mechanical apparatus or of fuse has beea "foand in the Tower cr in the Parliament buildings. Tni3 fact fctrenptbens the opinion that no infertal machine was used to effect the explosions, but that the agency eutployed was dynamite in seme ample form, packages containing live or six pounds bein dpoiUd in the Tower and Parliament buildings. ETATEMKST OF CONSTA LLE COLE, Comtable Cole, who was terribly injurel in his attempt to prevent ths explosion at Westminister Hall, made an important statement this afternoon. He said when he picked up the bundle on the steps leading to the Crypt Le noticed it was very heavy in proportion to its size. He determined jo cany it oattide of the building because h.8 eaw en.oke issuing from the bundle and bslievirg it lo be some sort of an infernal machine. Jest as he reached the top of the stairway he eaw an oily substance oozing from tbe bottom of nhe bundle. ThisttarT borned his hands, and compelled him to drcp the bundle. He has no rcccollection of atjtbing that happened atter that. Thi? ttitement by Constable Cole conn'rmj. tne theory entertained by the police that the chemical fuse was arranged in sach a way ttat it would barn through." th3 cotton plug inserted between the outside and the fulminating eubstance. There is a movement on foct to raite a fand by popular aubeeripticrp to reward Constable Cole for his I lncky eifort to avert the disaster. The man arrested to-day on suspicion of beirg concerned in tbo outrages is atill in custody, but tbe police ref ase all information bs to his name or the reason for believing him guilty. an American's hef.ye. An American traveler, t ame not known, was in a train of the Northwestern RaiUay going from London to Liverpool yesterday afternoon, when an exciting dhcision'arose ovtr Amejica's responsibility fcr the dynamite ex plosions. Tbe opinion was freely exrnssed that tbe United States was greatly to t!tme for harboring such msn as O Donovan Kof-ea.
